Stan Van Gundy believes that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope will be even better next season.

"KCP made a jump from last year to this year. He's got a ways to go, but we think he can make another jump," said Van Gundy. SVG put Caldwell-Pope's development at the forefront of his plans during the 2014-15 season, and KCP responded with averages of 12.7 points, 3.1 rebounds, 1.1 steals, and 1.9 three-pointers per game on 40.1 percent shooting from the field. Consistency is the main issue for KCP, but if he can continue to work on his game and improve his percentages, he could emerge as a quality asset in standard leagues. Right now, he's not much more than a 3-point specialist. Apr 16 - 6:19 PM

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 13 points on 5-of-9 shooting (including a three) with four rebounds, four assists and one steal in Monday's loss to the Cavs.

Caldwell-Pope has been running slightly hot this past week, averaging 2.0 treys and hitting 47.4 percent of his shots over his last four games. He only played 25 minutes tonight but he fits the definition of 'young' that Stan Van Gundy says he's going to go with in Wednesday's finale against the Knicks. Apr 14 - 12:10 AM

Head coach Stan Van Gundy has been impressed with the growth that Kentavious Caldwell-Pope has shown this season.

"All you gotta do is look at the minutes he's played to know I really like the guy and have great respect for him as a player," Van Gundy said. "At the same time, I don't want him to be satisfied and I don't want to shut it down with seven games to go. I think those are realistic expectations that he continue to work to get better." KCP has been pretty streaky this season, but he continues to get extra looks on offense with Greg Monroe (knee) out of the lineup and should be owned in standard leagues. Apr 5 - 11:20 AM

Kentavious Caldwell-Pope played 42 minutes against the Heat on Saturday with 19 points, three rebounds, one assist, three steals and two 3-pointers.

He was at home and he had his best scoring game in his last six tries. Caldwell-Pope was making just 34.2 percent of his shots on the road this season, so just keep that in mind if you're considering him in DFS when he's away from Detroit. He's worth owning in standard leagues. Apr 4 - 11:33 PM

Brandon Jennings (Achilles) is progressing in his rehab, but still isn't running and may miss the start of the regular season, according to Pistons head coach Stan Van Gundy.

While Jennings is aiming to be ready for the start of the regular season, Van Gundy doesn't seem to think that's a sure thing. "Obviously still not at the point of running or anything," Van Gundy said. "Can start to do a little bit more activity all the time. We're hopeful. We've still got about 14 weeks before the season opens. We've got a long time. We're hoping that he will be back and ready to play but it may not be at the beginning of the year." We'll keep an eye on Jennings' progress, but he's not much more than a late-round flier in standard fantasy league drafts at this point.
